Zury or The Meanest Man in Spring County,
by Joseph Kirkland, il the name of . new
novel which gives . very life-like represen-
tation of pioneer life in Illinois fifty years
ago. The peculiarities of the dialect in vogue
on the prairies at that time are very carefully
set forth. Although standing in the world OF
fiction almost alone yet the vivid portrayal
of the character of Zury and the ingenious
composition of the same, renders the work
exceedingly interesting. There are however,
certain qualities in which this novel is want.
ing to make it popular favorite, but even
this lack may pass undiscovered in the sym
pathetic and powerful study of pioneer life
and the unique creation in the character OF
Zury. Houghton, Mif1in Co., Boston,
publishers.
Mr.. Horace E. Scudder in American
Commonwealths, seeks to present certain
features in the development of Connecticut
which have Influenced the general develop
ment of the State system in this country. He
traces through the town system of govern
ment, original in this State, the first deliber-
ate and conscious effort on this continent to
establish democratic principles as well as the
democratic institutions which enabled its
citizens to maintain that form of government
which became the exemplar of the rights at
which all the colonies finally aimed: He
further shows that Connecticut as feder-
alton of towns maintained for q century and
a half that union of democratic and fedora
tive ideas which at last came to mark the
whole United States. The work is very
able and reasonable appeal for an acknowl-
edgemeht of the preeminent position OF Con-
necticut among Characterised ommonwealths.
Published by Houghton, MIfiin Co., Bos-
ton.
Queen, a novel, by Blanche w. Howard, is
a beautiful picture of the habits, customs,
prejudices and preferences of the fisher folks
of Breton. In Queen, the belle of Plouvenec,
are exempiified the strongest traits of the
simple, yet intense Breton nature, brought
into prominence by the strong contrast of
character in Hamor, the artist. The plot OF
the story is pleasing although it ends in the
suicide of Queen, which, however. is so an
ticipated as not to cause surprise. The book
is having large sale. Published by Ticknor
& Co., Boston.

RUSSIAN JELLY.-The name of Rus
sian jelly Is given to any jelly made
from gelatine and fiaYored with wine
and lemons which is whisked up very
light while warm, instead of being
left to harden in it's clear transpar-
ent state. It is well to know of the
alish. because sometimes jelly will
not harden when it is wanted for
some particular occasion, and in this
emergency. by beating it up light
and moulding it, much admired
dish can take it's place.. Again, it
may be put into freezer after it is
Whisked and regularly frozen. In
either case cream is delightful ad-
llition to this dessert. but not nee

Fallacies About Food.

l. That there is any nutriment in
beef tea made from extracts. There
Id none whatever. 2. That gelatine

alive. Beef tea and gelatine, how
ever, possess certain reparative pow
er, we know not what. 8. That an
egg is equal to pound of meet, and
that every sick person can eat eggs.
Many, especially those of nervous or
bilious temperments cannot eat them
and to such, eggs are injurious. 4.
That because milk is an important
article of food, it must be forced up.
on a patient. Food that a person
cannot endure will not cure. 5. That
&rrowroot is nutritious. 1t is simply

alive, quickly prepared. 6. That
cheese is injurious in all cases. 1t is
as rule, contra.indicated, being US
ually indigestible, but it is concen-
trated nutriment, and waste repair
er, and often craved. I. That the
cravings of a patient are whims, and
should be denied. The stomach Of
ten needs, carves for, and digests ar
ticles not laid down in any dietary.
Such are, for example, fruit, pickles,
jams, cake, ham or bacon with fat
cheese, butter and milk. 8. That an
indexible diet may be marked out
which shall apply to every case.
Choice of given list Of articles al
lowable in given case must be decid.
ed by the opinion of the stomach.
The stomach is right, and theory
wrong, and the judgment admits no
appeal. A diet which would keep q
healthy man healthy might kill a
sick man, and diet sufficient to
sustain sick man would not keep a
well man alive. Increased quantity
of food, especially of liquids, does
not mean increased nutriment, rather
decreases, since the digestion is over
taxed and weakened, Strive TO give
the food in as concentrated form
as possible. Consult the patients
stomach in preference to his tastes,
and if the stomach rejects certain
article do not force it.-Jo1rnGl OF

Destroying the Sparrows.

At a late meeting of the Missouri
Horticultural Society, Secretary
Holsinger advanced an idea which
seemed to be approved of. He said
that the sparrows congregated in the
cities and towns in winter and acted
as scavengers, picking up much OF
their living in the streets. Ii there
could be law under which poisoned
corn meal or other food could be
scattered in the streets for them to
feed upon they could be killed by
the thousands. Undoubtedly this
isa feasible method of destroying
the sparrows, and all that is needed
now is, first, practical agreement
which has not yet occurred, tha
these birds shall be destroyed, ane
then the proper persons selected ane
arrangements made to carry out tn
decision. How shall it be done.

CoCK-A-LEEKIE.-Some may be
curious to know how this old Eng
lish dish is prepared, who do not
care to partake of it themselves.
Take an old fowl, too tough to roast
and piece of beef, a snin-bone, and
put them into pot of cold water,
directly after breakfast, adding five
or six leeks cut into pieces about an
inch and half long. Let all sim
mer gently together until the meat of
the fowl is nearly done. Then take
it up and serve on dish separately,
after it has been basted and Drowned
in stove pan. Into the soup put
half a pound of French prunes, take
away the beef. and when the prunes
are done, skim the soup well and
serve in tureen as usual.
Fees NEWPORT STYLE.-Take one
pint of bread crumbs and soak in
one pint of milk. Beat eight eggs
very light, and stir with the soaked
crumbs, beating five minutes. Have
ready saucepan in which are two
tablespoonfuls of butter, thoroughly
hot, but not scorching; pour in the
mixture, season with pepper and
salt, as the mass is opened and stir
red with the "scrambling." which
should be done quickly with the
point OF the knife, for three minutes
or until thoroughly hot, Serve On a
hot platter with squares of bu,tered
toast.
CHOCOLATE MACcARooNs.-Take
three ounces of Bakers chocola te,
melt it in dish set in one of boiling
water Make it thick by stirring in
1t gradually one pound of powdered
sugar and the well.beaten whites Of
two eggs. Roll or spread it out as
smooth as possible, and cut in any
fancy.shaped pieces, and strew the
top of them with bits of blanched
and Clipped almonds. Sift over your
cookie tins equal parts of sugar and
-four and place the maccaroons upon
lit. Bake in quick oven not hot
enough to scorch them.
A little petroleum added to the
water with which waxed or polished
floors are washed improves theil

Senator Stanford's. Scheme.

Springfield Republican,; Leland Stan
ford has all comprehensive. ambitions
concerning his new university at Palo
Alto, and follows the, instincts of
business man in desiring to, make it
means for practical education so
called. He is quoted as saying:
| intend that the Stanford uniyer-
sity shall not only give one q classical
education, but that unden. itsro one
may learn telegraphy, type setting,
type writing, journalism, bookkeep-
ing, farming, civil engineering, etc.
For q number OF years prior to its i1ar
ception young men, graduates of Har-
vards Yale and other Eastern colleges
used to call uponm me bearing letters of
introduction. and asking me to snd
employment for them. I would learn
upon examination that while their
knowledge of Greek and Latin logic
and metaphysics might be thosough,
they We're actually helpless, so far as
practical knowledge went. They were
willing 60 learn, it is true, but the
world is Eull OF unskilled labor, and SO
| was forced to put them ON the rail-
road as conductors. brake1nen and
fremen in order that they might be-
come self-supportin ing. / then conceived
the idea OF a university from which
young men could graduate fully
| equipped for the battle of life in what.
ever direction their tastes might run.
